The One Hikeable Lake In Washington That’s Simply Breathtaking In The Fall
Fall is the perfect time for hiking. The weather’s cool, the air smells wonderful and the fall foliage makes the landscape light up in rich, jewel tones. Here’s a pretty lake that you can hike around this fall. Don’t forget your camera!
You'll find Tipsoo Lake in Mount Rainier National Park.
It sits at 5,400 feet, with excellent views of Mount Rainier behind it.
The Natches Peak and Tipsoo Lake loop trail takes you along the hillside below Natches Peak. Along the way, you'll be surrounded by the deep red, yellow and orange colors of the foliage, and you'll breathe in the fresh, clean scent of pine.
This 3.2 mile loop trail treats you to some of Washington's most stunning natural beauty. You'll gain about 600 feet in elevation along the way, so bring some water and prepare for a moderate hike.
